IN THIS EPISODE What if there was a rampant nutrient deficiency accelerating your aging, cranking up inflammation, and quietly sabotaging your health? Not a vitamin, or mineral, but a “nonessential” amino acid that was once abundant in our diets, but is largely missing today. This isn’t some fringe theory—it’s what new research has been showing about an amino acid called glycine, a missing link to metabolic health, deeper sleep, stronger joints, calmer mood, smoother skin, and even a longer life. That’s why we invited Dr. Joel Brind—biochemist, longtime researcher,...

INSIDE THE EPISODE There’s a common, often overlooked, dietary imbalance that may be increasing the risk of obesity, heart disease, pain, and mental health issues. That imbalance lies in the type of fats we consume, or the essential omega-6 (think seeds oils) and omega-3 (think fish and leafy greens) fats. While our ancestors evolved with a balanced ratio, today we consume about 20x more omega 6 fatty acids which many experts, like this week’s podcast guest, Dr. Simopoulos, a world authority on essential fatty acids and former nutritional adviser to the White House, believes it is...

IN THIS EPISODE Stress is more than an uncomfortable feeling—it can unravel our health in profound ways. Research shows that chronic stress not only drains our energy and disrupts our mood but also contributes to a host of serious health issues, from heart disease to immune dysfunction. In today’s fast-paced world, we often turn to stimulants to find balance, yet many of these “remedies” leave us feeling more depleted and anxious. Which is why this week’s postcard episode features Dan Chapman, the creator of REDD Remedies, a company devoted to creating herbal formulas...
